VAWG: Mayor commits to Derry City and Strabane being a zero tolerance zone

One of the other ideas put forward at the event by “grassroots organisations”, the mayor said, was for a comprehensive educational programme.

She added: “That will educate our young men in school about consent and respect for young women and for men to stand up for young women.

“These conversations need to happen at our kitchen tables, at our offices, everywhere”.

“I was horrified when a councillor shared a story of a woman walking on the streets and her alarm went off accidentally and she could not get help from anybody.

“That shows we are not actively looking for signs of violence against women in our streets and one way is to bring people together to speak up in platforms like these.”
